Among MPLA patients, nonsmoking women with less lymph node metastasis and patients with lesions presenting GGO or mixed GGO and air bronchograms on CT were more likely to exhibit EGFR mutations. In nonsmoking patients, young patients with solid lesions on CT are recommended to undergo an ALK status test.
